028 Preparing for breeding
Early the next morning, before dawn, Su Yan dragged the two sleeping dolls from the hot quilt, urged the two dolls to wash their faces and prepare to go to the town, and went to cook something for them to pad their stomachs.
Hearing Daddy Liu, who was driving the car outside, roared, "It's time to go", Su Yan lifted a few cans of pickles to the carriage. Originally, the carriage only rushed to the entrance of the town, but the two dolls had little strength and couldn't carry so many things, so Su Yan would pay more than five wen car money every time, and asked Daddy Liu to send the two dolls to the town's market entrance, and by the way, help the two dolls carry pickle jars.
The two little dolls are also quite pleasing people, as soon as they get in the car, they call grandpa sweetly, and they make a family meal with Daddy Liu, and they also stuff the snacks they bring to Daddy Liu a small bag, which makes Daddy Liu can't keep his mouth together.
After the two dolls left, Su Yan didn't bother to go back to sleep, so he quickly chopped chicken food, watered the vegetable patch, and then took all the dirty clothes at home to the river to wash, and came back just when it was time for breakfast. Niu Da's medicine had to be taken before meals, so Su Yan boiled Niu Da's medicine first and sent it to him.
"Big brother, I'll discuss something with you." Su Yan handed the medicine to Niu Da and wiped his hands on the apron, "Didn't the family rent three acres of paddy fields from the landlord's family, two acres I used to grow rice, and I wanted to plant some peppers, eggplants, potatoes and beans on the remaining acres, and I opened up two acres of mountainous land to plant corn, do you think it's good?" ”
Niu Da drank the medicine and said faintly: "You have been cultivating the land at home all these years, and you can do whatever you think is good." ”
Niu Da and the people in the village have always planted more rice and less others, but Su Yan reduced the rice to plant others, although Niu Da felt that it was inappropriate, but he thought that Su Yan must have her reason for doing this.
"Well, I calculated, the rice harvested from two acres of land is enough for us to eat for half a year after paying the rent, and the rice stored in the previous years is still enough for half a year, so we will simply plant less this year." Su Yan said his plan.
"I think now that Xiaoyue and Xiaomo have grown up, they will help me do things, I plan to raise more chickens and ducks, and I can sell them for money in the future, and I can't just rely on vegetable leaves to raise chickens and ducks, so I just plant more corn, feed cornmeal, and then take care of the pigsty, and then buy two little piglets to raise, wild vegetables and cornmeal feeding, pork is worth more than crops after all, I think it's cost-effective."
In fact, Su Yan has long wanted to raise more poultry, but before Xiaomo and the others were still young, they were busy in the field, and they had to take care of the family when they came home, and they had no money and no time to raise poultry. Now that the baby is older, she can help with the work, and she can make a few dollars in the pickles she pickles in the past two years, and she can afford to buy poultry piglets, so she simply starts breeding this year, so that she can kill chickens at any time if she wants to open meat.
"Isn't it a bit of a waste that cornmeal is used to feed chickens, ducks and pigs?" Niu Da questioned that most of the corn in this era was kept to make corn flour or corn rice for subsistence, but now it is used to feed livestock.
Su Yan smiled: "If you are willing to give up, you will have to give up." Although corn is also expensive, the poultry that grew up eating cornmeal is fat and strong, and it will definitely sell for a good price. ”
"If you think you can make money, then be it, I don't know these things." Niu Da let out a long sigh, feeling that he hadn't been on the ground for many years, how many years he hadn't taken care of his family affairs, and he was not as good at doing things as Su Yan after all, so he simply let Su Yan decide for himself.
